Financial Incentives for Business

Government-supported financial incentives for businesses to start saving money and go green.

Renewable Energy Certificates

Renewable Energy Certificates are commonly known as gov rebates. These certificates work to subsidise the cost of a solar system. Any quote from a solar company will have this rebate already applied. In 2017, this is a discount of about $580 per kW or 19 certificates per kW (depending on the area of installation). The number of certificates issued declines by 7.1% each year. While not actually a rebate per se, as the finance doesn't actually come from the governments.

Feed in Tariffs

If your network provider allows you to export the electricity generated from your solar system, a feed-in tariff may be secured from your energy retailer (typically around $0.06/kWh).

Tax Benefits

While the solar system works to offset your electricity expenses, you can pick the financing option best suited for your financial statements.
